Henry Clay Hodges (January 14, 1831 – November 3, 1917) was a U.S. Army officer serving as a quartermaster in various places throughout the United States, including during the American Civil War.

[3] Upon graduation, Hodges was made a brevet Second Lieutenant in the U.S. 4th Infantry Regiment, and assigned to a frontier post at Fort Howard (Wisconsin).

Lieutenant Hodges was put in charge of the western division's military escort, as well as serving as the group's commissary and quartermaster.

While at Fort Vancouver, Lieutenant Hodges periodically served in a military judicial capacity, dealing with disciplinary issues.

Eventually, Hodges was able to send proper appeals to General Winfield Scott, Harney's superior, proving that he was innocent of all charges and unfairly being imprisoned.

Scott further wrote to the Secretary of War, that Harney's action was "an act of stupid outrage which has never been surpassed even in the Turkish army.

Colonel Hodges was made the Chief Quartermaster of the Army of the Cumberland, reporting to Major General Rosecrans, and participating in the Battle of Chickamauga from September 19–20, 1863.

Two days earlier, Hodges had been requested by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton to secure 2,000 horses for the cavalry, which he accomplished.

Over the course of the four years of the war, they spent over a billion dollars on food, supplies, uniforms, tents, wagons, horses and mules, services, and transportation.

As a Senior Warden on the Vestry, Hodges joined Joseph M. Fletcher, Louis Sohns, and other prominent local members as the incorporators of the second Episcopal church in the Washington Territory in 1868.
